Metella by George Sand
QR code
"Metella" by George Sand is a novella published in October 1833 in the Revue des Deux Mondes. The story centers on Lady Metella Mowbray, an English aristocrat approaching thirty and living in Florence. Through two intertwined narratives, it explores her romantic passions: one for a man her own age, another for a man more than ten years younger. Sand wrote this tale of feminine desire and aging while never having visited the
Italian settings she imagined, creating a work that fits within her series exploring women's experiences. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
